Thousands losing their jobs to be replaces with people who can be paid less than minimum wage |: who'll be fired when they turn 20 or have been their 5 months and replaced with people who can be paid less than minimum wage. :|
Ok. Let's look at that potential.... If these people already have minimum wage jobs that can be replaced by a 15 year old, I'd suggest that they probably aren't the sort of people I'm concerned about to begin with. It's very likely that they're the sort of people who deserve to be out of work because they're facing the consequences of their own poor life decisions. Either that or they're immigrants (legal or otherwise) who probably shouldn't have been allowed into the country to begin with.
We've got a couple of issues here.....
First off, YES child labor IS a State Level issue. It is NOT something that the Federal Government is granted power to regulate in the US Constitution, unless those kids are being shipped across state lines to work. Those who disagree with this stance, please show me a specific enumerated power in the US Constitution, granting the US Government the RIGHT to regulate child labor or removing that RIGHT from the States.
(Since the law has been on the books (since what, the 1930's?) and has never been declared UN-Constitutional I would argue that it is, indeed Constitutional.)
Additionally, while I'm not in favor of everything that is on that list of changes, I would be in favor of a good number of them. Especially in rural areas, farming communities, and areas where the current preference is for illegal immigrant workers. I'm also in favor of allowing Home Schooling families to modify their lesson plans and timing to allow kids to work during the regular business day, so long as their grades are kept up.
(Uhhhh....agriculture has a list of special provisions under the law that allows utilization for the use of family members on the family farms.)
Nobody is going to be sending 8 year olds back into coal mines. So let's throw those stupid strawman arguements out the window right now. However, many families could use the extra income, it would help keep a lot of kids off the streets, make it easier for those who have dropped out of school to support themselves, and generally decrease the influence of the Federal Government in people's lives.... all things which I agree with whole-heartedly.
So now we see your bottom line. Any adult working a minimum wage job is useless to society and should be thrown to the wolves. If they aren't as well off as you, then they are just pieces of shit to be thrown out with the daily trash. At least you aren't hiding what you truly believe. Now we can understand much better what you think about society and people in general.

[I guess the same arguments can be made regarding gun laws. But many say that gun laws open the door for the Feds bashing down your door and confiscating your firearms. So is this a path we REALLY want to go down?
I would argue that there hasn't been a valid government in this country to make that decision since 1860, so that's pretty much a moot point in my mind.
as would be your wining about thew law and COTUS
Good to know the government became invalid when slavery was threatened
Great, another moron who thinks the U.S.A. has ever seen a civil war. It hasn't. Not yet, anyway.as would be your wining about thew law and COTUS
Good to know the government became invalid when slavery was threatened
Wow. Two different people in less than a couple hours who actually think that slavery was the important issue of the Civil War. I do have to thank you people. Comments like that make it much easier to ensure that all of you who belong on the Ignore List eventually make it there.
Buh Bye.
